Public Transit Infrastructure Fund

Development, upgrades and improvements to Edmonton public transportation.

Edmontonians will begin to see more development, upgrades and improvements to Edmonton public transportation beginning in May, 2017 thanks to the Public Transit Infrastructure Fund (PTIF).

This fund holds approximately $300 million and is made of contributions from the Government of Canada, Government of Alberta and the City of Edmonton. It has allowed the City of Edmonton to put forward 46 infrastructure projects across Edmonton to improve the user experience when using Edmonton Transit Services and LRT.

Transit Centre Improvements

The Belvedere Transit Centre (6120-129 Avenue) is a heated building on the east side of the bus lanes, where transit riders wait for the bus. The existing building will be removed and a new building will be constructed in the same area. The existing building will be replaced with a new, larger building with improved amenities and viewing area.

Feedback gathered during public engagement contributed to the final improvement designs.

Construction began in December 2017. The new transit centre is expected to open in Fall 2018. Construction will not affect bus or LRT services. Please respect all site signage and stay out of the construction zone.

Renewal of the transit centre will include upgrades to the building systems such as heating, electrical and mechanical systems. It will improve overall customer experience, safety, security, access and mobility.

The new design will also address passenger capacity, technology upgrades, architectural aesthetics, site landscaping and operational efficiencies.

Construction is expected to start and finish in 2018. Replacement of the Jasper Place busway is complete.

Jasper Place Transit Centre is getting a new look. The existing bus shelter will be removed and new heated waiting areas will be constructed on a wider platform. The waiting areas will accommodate more people more comfortably than the old shelter. The old brick building on the northwest corner of the transit centre will be removed and a new, smaller operations building will take its place with some landscaping, bike parking and seating.
